I've become a "collector" of films that have Healeys in them and have well over a hundred of them, but this wasn't one. In watching the movie, I was wondering why it had such an oversized rear view mirror until I saw they used it to reflect both the driver and passenger in the car in the same shot. As a Mercedes guy, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Gullwing Mercedes in the final scene, driven by Leo McKern, later famed for "Rumpole of the Bailey" The whole movie is available here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8v5vgk1cME" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8v5vgk1cME</a><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:black">Healthy Healeying,<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:black">Rick Neville<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><div id="gmail-m_-6836743945699224092yiv1808727678DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><table border="1" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(211,212,222)"><tbody><tr><td width="55" style="width:41.25pt;border:none;padding:9.75pt 0.75pt 0.75pt"><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:none"><img border="0" width="46" height="29" style="width: 0.4833in; height: 0.3in;" id="gmail-m_-6836743945699224092_x0000_i1025" src="https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-round-orange-animated-no-repeat-v1.gif"></span></a><u></u><u></u></p></td><td width="470" style="width:352.5pt;border:none;padding:9pt 0.75pt 0.75pt"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(65,66,78)">Virus-free. <a href="https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(68,83,234)">www.avast.com</span></a> <u></u><u></u></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div id="gmail-m_-6836743945699224092yiv1808727678yqt56272"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:black">On Tue, Oct 6, 2020 at 1:03 AM editorgary--- via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><blockquote style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">We were watching Turner Classic Movies this evening -- a little know film-noir called "Time without Pity." <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">In the initial close-up of the two actors driving through London, with the backdrop moving behind them and them sitting in the car with just a little bit of the car showing, the car looked familiar<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">When they moved to a camera angle where you could see the A-pillar, it had the distinctive folding windshield of an Austin-Healey BN1/2, but given the year of the film, probably a BN2.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">A street scene showing them pull up to the curb showed the registration number on the plate: OOX 926.
